- Big Bang… Microbes! – Workshop on Cultivation of the Uncultivationables!
2023-09-28 to 2023-09-29, :envihab research facility at DLR, Cologne (Germany)
The Special Group Space Microbiology invites you to a VAAM-DGHM interdisciplinary event. The
focus of the event 'Big Bang... Microbes! - Workshop on Cultivation of the Uncultivables!' will focus on the cultivation of microorganisms. With this meeting we want to actively promote the review, exchange, outlook and discussion of microbial cultivation.
The focus of the event will be on the cultivation of microorganisms, isolation and characterization of (new) strains/strain communities and their application or utility in a wide range of fields such as basic research, biotechnology, food & chemical industry, agriculture and space. Besides the scientific exchange around the topic of cultivation, there will be an insight into the work of the different groups at DLR, ESA and NASA. A visit to the European Astronaut Center is also planned.
- 74rd International Astronautical Congress (IAC 2023)
2023-10-02 to 2023-10-06, Baku, Azerbaijan
The 74rd International Astronautical Congress (IAC 2023) will take place from October 2 to 6 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
In this conference all areas of space research from space life sciences to space exploration are addressed with several interesting opportunities for students and young scientists.
The IAA/IAF space life sciences symposium A1 of the IAC 2023 encompasses sessions with oral and interactive presentations with different topics.
Astrobiology in general and the scientific and technical aspects of astrobiological research in space and on Earth will be discussed during this conference in different sessions and different symposia. We would like to draw your attention especially to session A1.6. Astrobiology and Exploration.
- OLDM'23, Origins of life Donastia Meeting
2023-10-02 to 2023-10-04, Spain
It is our great pleasure to present the Origins of Life Donostia Meeting 2023, to be held in Donostia-San Sebastian (Palacio Miramar), Basque Country (Spain), on the 2nd-4th of October 2023, in an in-person format. The motivation for organizing this event is to provide an opportunity for all of us, researchers interested in the problem of how biological complexity could emerge from physics and chemistry, to get together in a beautiful location, in a friendly environment where we can share and discuss recent ideas/results on this fascinating topic -- after a few strange years when this has been difficult to do.
The meeting will be the final event of a European Marie Curie ITN Project centred on the physical and chemical roots of metabolism (https://protomet-etn.eu/), but we wanted to open it to the whole origin-of-life community. Therefore, although the programme will cover a significant number of contributions related to 'proto-metabolic systems', a wider range of subjects, within the field, will be certainly welcome. This includes scientific inputs, of course, both experimental and theoretical, but also more conceptual/philosophical reflections on open questions that remain a challenge of more general concern for the community.

- ESA Brainstorming on Astrobiology
2023-10-16 to 2023-10-20, ESTEC (Keplerlaan 1, 2201 AZ Noordwijk, The Netherlands)
An open, focused, and multidisciplinary European Space Agency (ESA) workshop on astrobiology, featuring expert discussion as well as public talks.
Fostering collaboration, connecting ESA with the Zeitgeist of the rapidly growing astrobiology community, brainstorming outside-of-the-box ideas for interdisciplinary science and future missions, and disseminating our findings via public lectures and a publication. Our vision is to form a diverse group in terms of research expertise, gender, seniority, background, institute country, and professional functionality.
Importantly, there is some commitment requested before and after the event; ca. 15 applicants from the community will be selected; travel grants for all participants will be provided (up to 1000 Euro; exceptions may be discussed upon request).
Submission Deadline: 2023-06-15
- Small bodies of the Solar System and their link with extraterrestrial samples
2024-02-04 to 2024-02-09, Les Houches, France
This Winter School aims to better understand the bridge between solar system small bodies and extraterrestrial samples. Lectures will focus on solar system and small bodies formation and evolution, cosmochemistry, timescales, sample return analysis, and perspectives for this research field. Lectures and discussions will be held in English.
